Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was responsible for conducting comparable research and writing market commentaries based on my research. I would present my findings to my direct line managers on a weekly basis and write up reports that were reviewed before being sent to the client.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given responsibility to conduct research that went directly to our clients. I also got the opportunity to sit in on client calls to understand how these were conducted.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Absolutely. I learnt about how to conduct in-depth market research with the end goal of being able to correctly value a development that our team was working on.
I continued learning how to efficiently work within a new team within the property sector, which was a new experience for me in itself.
It was incredible to understand exactly how the residential part of JLL works by conducting daily tasks that the team work on.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was so lucky to have Victoria Ogilvie-Hodge as my superior. She taught me all the foundations to beginning my career in real estate. I also had two lovely line managers who guided me through the tasks I was set and made sure I knew exactly what I was doing. I am really grateful for their expertise during my 6 weeks.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend JLL to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to JLL
I would advise to be yourself and show your true personality and your passion for real estate as much a possible. I feel there is a real sense that they would like to get to know you as a person and what you could bring to the team so being able to demonstrate your skills in a happy and positive way is a great start!
